Friday is the third Iraq Moratorium Day. The third Friday of every month, people are spending an hour doing something out of the ordinary to protest the Iraq occupation. Instead of, or in addition to, the giant marches–which get downplayed by the media and criticized by liberals for their plurality of messages–the Moratorium envisions a growing set of small actions, in every neighborhood.

You can go to the Moratorium site to see a full list of the events going on around the country, but a couple that caught my eye in San Francisco are a Bernal Heights Vigil, from 6-7pm at Cortland and Andover, and the Molly Ivins Pots and Pans Brigade, noon at the Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate. Bring flashlights or candles for the former, pots and pans for the latter.

The Moratorium offers a pledge, which seems like the least we can do:

I hereby make a commitment that on the Third Friday of each and every month, I will break my daily routine and take some action, by myself or with others, to end the War in Iraq.
You can sign the pledge on their site.
